## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability cryptopulse-first-time-crypto-buyer-onboarding-guide-153172f8
```

Example prompt: I'm completely new to crypto and I'm based in Canada — can you walk me through which exchange to sign up for, how to make my first purchase, how to set up a wallet, and give me a simple DCA plan to get started?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user is a complete beginner to crypto and needs end-to-end onboarding guidance specific to their country, including exchange selection, wallet setup, and a DCA investment plan. Prefer this over the exchange-only or DCA-only endpoints when the user needs a full starter package rather than one specific piece of information.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized country code — returns error or generic fallback guidance
- Missing required country parameter — returns validation error
- Regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions may limit exchange recommendations
- Stale exchange data if not recently updated — recommendations may reference defunct or changed services

## How this service works

## Output

A structured, country-specific onboarding guide for first-time crypto buyers including: recommended exchanges ranked for the user's country, a step-by-step first-purchase walkthrough, wallet setup instructions (custodial vs. self-custodial options), and a personalized dollar-cost averaging plan.
